    6.5grBullseye/230gr FMJ ~ 26,500psi in a 21,000-rated gun. Bad juju indeed (and probably beating the hell outta the frame/slide). 4.5-to-5.0-ish sounds about right.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    I've used Bullseye and Win231. In my experience the Win231 was cleaner but you had to add about a 1/2 a grain more powder for the same velocity.

    Sorry, I haven't used titegroup but was considering trying it as I heard it was cleaner still but don't go by my memory.
